To many people, really. We're this generations gypsies, modern day vagabonds; not really &lt;em&gt;at home&lt;/em&gt; anywhere. Or maybe half at home everywhere. We can store all of our photos and our writing on laptops; movies on a portable hard drive; our music on a device no bigger than a deck of cards. Now we can do the same with our books, and never have to leave our cherished libraries behind, ever again.&quot;&lt;/q&gt;" created="Fri, 07 Dec 2007 12:48:47 GMT"/><outline text="Want to see something &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; exciting?

Well, I can predict the bad stuff better than the good stuff. People will still fob us off with proprietary solutions. They'll still try and use pragmatism to inject their values into standards. They'll still use scare quotes and &quot;Upper Case&quot; to bluff audiences into thinking the Semantic Web isn't real (Phew! That's not going to decimate our business model like RSS did!). In other words, people will still continue being all too human - only they'll find new and interesting technologies to assist in the process.&#13;" created="Fri, 07 Dec 2007 14:10:35 GMT"/><outline text="&#13;" created="Fri, 07 Dec 2007 14:10:35 GMT"/><outline text="I'm a cynic.
